Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taurian Collision

The planet Sheyrin is home to a race who call themselves Taur. The planet resembles a blue and green globe far off in another galaxy that is called earth, though the populace of the Sheyrin does not resemble the humans of Earth. The citizens of the planet mostly resemble the beasts known to walk the similar planet. Their lower halves are that of a wild beast, their upper halves are a hybrid of humanoid/beast. The populace of Sheyrin are a fairly kind race, many are able to coexist with little problems.

Unfortunately for the inhabitants of Sheyrin, on one particular summer morning, a screeching object flew in from the sky and landed in an open plain. The burning object was indeed a spaceship, though it obviously had been through quite a dangerous run. It was charred from the atmosphere and from what appeared to be battle marks. When the Taurians managed to pry themselves through the melted doors the remains of the technology of the beings who made the ship was discovered, as well as the nearly destroyed remains of one of the beings itself. All the Taurians could decipher from this corpse was that the beings were bipeds, had five fingers and only one pair of eyes. These beings were in very few ways similar to Taurians, but their technology was understandable to them.

Because of this, some of the Taurians wanted to take what they could learn from the ship in hopes to further their own limited technology. Others, very devout in their religion of worshipping three gods; one for day and night, one for life and a third for death, saw the ship as a dangerous entity that should be ignored. It didn't take long for the two beliefs to split off into factions that grew in their hatred of one another. where will you stand?

From time to time she will see her siblings, but the visits are rare and short.

Lamia lives alone, and hasn't given brith to any children. She prefers it this way, seeing as how confused the world is getting.
Personality: Lamia is a kind sort of woman, when she feels like it. She does have a cruel side to her, though it only comes out when she is hungry as she likes live meals. She enjoys intellegent discussions but gets uncomfortable when in crowds. She does best in small groups of just pairs.

Extra:- N/A

Username: Medusa7
Name: Omi
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Appearance: A petite, short girl, Omi is colored black, white and gray. She has large blue eyes and a broad smile. She keeps herself very neatly attired and clean, and wears a loosely flowing top of white with blue accents. Her curly black hair is tied in two pigtails.
Race: An AntelopeTaur (more specifically, based on the Arabian oryx).
Loyalties: Omi is a priestess under the god of death. She believes the ship is perhaps sent by a god and should be investigated, but feels it is a religious artifact and should be left alone. She wants to worship it and sees the land where it fell as a holy place, touched by a god. She is appalled that people would seek to dismantle it and analyze it.
Biography: Raised in a temple devoted to the god of death from when she was a little girl, Omi's family consists of other priestesses that she lives with. She does not keep in contact with her biological family, as she doesn't consider them important just because of the blood relation. Her life has mainly consisted of nursing the sick and wounded in the temple, until the ship crashed and she became caught up in the argument over what to do with it. She has known Veet for several years.
Personality: Sweet and friendly, Omi doesn't talk much but prefers to show her motives and feelings through action. It is all but impossible to make her angry or upset. She is infinitely calm and doesn't let things get to her. She is not a peacemaker, however, and supports violence if she feels it is justified. Omi sees herself as a mirror of someone's behavior, and will act accordingly depending on how a person treats her.
Sexual Orientation: Straight, but uninterested in relationships.
Weapons: Omi carries a heavy staff, presumably as a walking stick, but it is actually for protection and fights. She has no problem with hurting people who attack her, though she never strikes first. She has also been known to gore or slice people with her long horns in extreme cases.
People's Opinion: Omi stays beneath the radar for the most part, but she is peaceful, kind, and generous, so long as you treat her the same way. She has some enemies, but mostly is admired for her actions.
Religious/ Moral Beliefs: Omi is a follower of the god of death, and sees it as not something to be feared, but simply the shadow that a life casts. Omi believes that death is equal to life, but opposite, and that a long life will lead to a long death, before the process starts over. In this way, it is similar to the cycle of day and night, a never ending procession of light and dark.

Username: Mystery Wolf
Name: Mystery
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Appearance:- Here (Without the extra arms of course)
Race:- WolfTuar
Loyalties:- He sides with the gods and believes that this thing sent to their planet is nothing but a test to them- if they chose to start going against the gods then it would anger them.
Biography:- Mystery was raised normally, although he spends much of his time away from the others. He has a few friends though and prefers the god of night mostly. Upon the strange incident, he was actually one of the tuarians that helped opening the ship...but immediately left the subject alone when the question raised on how the world should be.
Personality: Although he looks fierce and has an easily blown temper, he is nice and logical...when he isn't angry
Sexual Orientation: Bi.
Weapons:- A spear pointed on both ends.
People's Opinion:- Most think he is one of the strong, quiet types...and he is. Others believe he gets mad way too easily.
Relgious/ Moral Belifs: He believes really that if a conflict can't be resolved by talk, death must be done as death is the end to ones life.

Username: Arachna blackrose
Name: L'thi Usto
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Appearance:- L'thi Although note that she usually wears a black wrap of some sort on her upper half. >.<
Race:- Horse--obviously of the Taurean variety
Loyalties:- She believes that the ship should be used to better their society. Though, she also wonders about the other side of the issue as well. Overall, she's a fence-sitter, and prefers to stay away from the issue altogether.
Biography:- L'thi was raised in an average family, from what she can figure at least, taught the ways of the gods and whatnot. However, she never fully embraced the idea of being watched over by higher beings. In her mind, if you can't see something that's supposed to be that powerful, than it isn't worth the time to worry about. At any rate, over the last few years, she's been starting her life on her own, having finally gotten away from her somewhat protective parents. So far, she has little more than a home to live in, but she is content, and cares little about the incident with the crashed ship.
Personality: She's very laid-back, not caring much about things that aren't directly affecting whatever she's doing at the time. She is the friendly sort..at least, most of the time, preferring to be someone's friend than their enemy. While she may normally be gentle, once someone does manage to piss her off, they'd better watch their back, because she will hold a grudge like there's no tomorrow.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Weapons:- Bow & Arrow
People's Opinion:- Overall, people seem to like L'thi, though she is largely unknown to most, being new to the area and all. There are some who find her lack of interest in politics a bother, but to most that is only a minor flaw. What really bugs people about her, if anything, is that she is not religious in the least, which sometimes gets her branded as a heretic.
Relgious/ Moral Belifs- She believes that if something is meant to happen, it will, and there's really no point in stressing out over things you can't control.

Ghieas sighed, sitting in his work-shop, fiddling around with some of the things he had been working on for the last few weeks "I hope none of these end up being used for violence" he said softly, glancing out the window "I don't want a war to break out..." he added, turning back to his tinkering "But I suppose time will tell"

Lamia continued through the trees, reaching up to pluck a small fruit from the lower branches of its tree and swallowing it whole. Her purple eyes scanned the wood before her, slightly wary as she recalled some of the more recent arguments that had broken out.

Ghieas sighed "I might as well go outside" he said, putting his tools away "No point in holing up in here all day" he muttered, stepping outside, making sure his tail wasn't caught in the door when he shut it.

L'thi sighed, walking over to the tree, her steps soft, yet loud enough that anyone nearby would probably be able to hear her. She wasn't trying to be stealthy, after all. With a swift tug, the arrow came free of the target, and she was moving back to where she'd stood previously. Instead of aiming again, though, she pulled out a knife and started to make adjustments to both the arrow and the bow. "I'll get it right eventually..." She murmured to herself as she worked.

L'thi didn't even look up as she heard the gator, her focus being on the bow in her hands. "Finishing up with this piece of junk." She answered, giving him an absent wave of greeting. She finally pulled her gaze from the weapon after another moment or so, looking to Ghieas. "What about yourself?"
